That’s when new witnesses stepped forward, offering information to the police in exchange for a cash reward. The new testimony pinned the crime on Waters, and he was convicted of robbery and murder in 1983.

Life in prison was difficult for Waters, and he tried to commit suicide. While he was recovering, his sister Betty Anne visited him and asked him not to harm himself again. He promised to stay strong, but asked Betty Anne to do something in return.
